How to play Brave Souls

Character Growth

Character Growth

There are a number of ways to improve your characters.

Leveling Up Characters gain experience and level up by completing quests. Every time a character levels up, their base stats improve. You can also level up your characters by using EXP Crystals.
Strengthening You can improve various things, such as a character's stats or Soul Trait, by strengthening Souls on the Soul Tree.
Ascension A character's maximum level and Special Move level can both be increased.
Character Link Placing another character in a character's link slot imparts the first character's Soul Trait to the base character.
Awakening Most fully-powered up ★5 characters can be Awakened to ★6. See here for more details on Awakening ★5 characters.
Unlocking Skills ★6 characters have special Souls on their Soul Trees which give them new skills and abilities when unlocked. See here for more details on ★6 characters' Soul Trees.
Resurrection Some ★6 characters can be Resurrected to create a new, more powerful ★6 character of the same version. See here for more details on Resurrecting ★6 characters.
Inheritance By powering up a ★6 character's Character Link Slots and then putting certain other characters in those Character Link Slots, the base character can Inherit some of the linked characters' stats. See here for more details on Inheritance.
Transcendence Depending on a ★6 character's Special Move level, the character can increase their base stats even further. See here for more details on Transcendence.

Character Level Indicators

A character's level indicator changes depending on how far the character has been powered up.

Image1 A white indicator shows that the character's Soul Tree completion percentage is below 100%.
Image2 A green indicator shows that the character's Soul Tree completion percentage is 100% or above.
Image3 A red indicator shows that all the character's Character Link slots are at level 30. (The character must also have a 100% or higher Soul Tree.)
Image4 A purple indicator shows that all of a character's Transcendence Basic Stat Boosts are at level 10. (A character must also have a 100% or higher Soul Tree and three level 30 Character Link slots.)

For the level indicator to turn purple, the character must have a stat boost set in each Basic Stat Boost slot and must also have an Extra Stat Boost.
Image5 If the total value of all link slot levels is 29 or less, each link slot level is displayed as a number. (The indicator switches between the character's level and a flashing icon.)
Image6 If the total value of all link slot levels is between 30 and 59, each link slot level is displayed as a red number with a frame. (The indicator switches between the character's level and a flashing icon.)
Image7 If the total value of all link slot levels is 60, each link slot level is displayed as a red number with a frame. (The indicator switches between the character's level and a flashing icon.)

Strengthening

Use Crystals and Coins to strengthen Souls on a character's Soul Tree to make them stronger.

1. Soul Tree

Each character has a unique Soul Tree. On the Soul Tree you can choose which things you want to improve, and strengthen the character by using Coins and power-up materials. Each Soul improves a certain aspect of the character, and requires a set amount of specific power-up materials to strengthen. Tap and hold on a Soul to check the amount and kind of power-up materials necessary to unlock that Soul. You can also tap on a specific power-up material to see a list quests where that item can be acquired and then transition there.

Souls have a number of levels. When the Soul reaches maximum level, more Souls may be unlocked.

Souls come in the following types:

Image9 Stamina Soul Raises the character's Stamina. Requires Stamina Crystals and Coins to strengthen.
Image10 Attack Soul Raises the character's Attack. Requires Attack Crystals and Coins to strengthen.
Image11 Defense Soul Raises the character's Defense. Requires Defense Crystals and Coins to strengthen.
Image12 Focus Soul Raises the character's Focus. Requires Focus Crystals and Coins to strengthen.
Image13 Spiritual Pressure Soul Raises the character's Spiritual Pressure. Requires Spiritual Pressure Crystals and Coins to strengthen.
Image14 Special Soul Raises the character's Soul Trait. Raising the level of a Special Soul makes the character's Soul Trait stronger, and also improves the effect of Character Links.
Image15 Slot Soul Increases the number of link slots the character has.
Image16 Leveling Soul Unique to ★5 and ★6 characters. Once the character has reached maximum Ascension level, a Leveling Soul can increase the character's maximum level even further.
Image17 Skill Soul Souls only available to ★6 characters that unlock special abilities.
Image18 Soul Trait Soul These Souls are unique to Resurrected ★6 characters. Unlocking a Soul Trait Soul gives the character a new Soul Trait.

2. Multi-Power Up

You can use any available Coins and power-up materials to unlock multiple Souls on a Soul Tree simultaneously.

3. Leveling Up

You can increase a character's level by using a special Crystal called an EXP Crystal. Crystals come in the following varieties:

Small Medium Large
Stamina Crystal Image19 Image20 Image21
Attack Crystal Image22 Image23 Image24
Defense Crystal Image25 Image26 Image27
Focus Crystal Image28 Image29 Image30
Spiritual Pressure Crystal Image31 Image32 Image33
EXP Crystal Image34 Image35 Image36

Ascension

Fuse characters together to increase the base character's maximum level.

Image37

1. Base Character

The base character is the character that will be improved during Ascension.

2. Special Move Level

You can increase a character's Special Move level by Fusing them with an identical character, using a Special Move Source, or collecting Special Move Points.

Image40

- Characters are considered to be identical if they have the same name, Attribute, and thumbnail image.
- Identical characters can be used irrespective of whether the character has been Awakened or Resurrected.
- Even if a character's Ascension level is at maximum, they can still increase their Special Move Level.
- A Special Move icon denotes a character that can have the level of their Special Move increased.
- Special Move levels stay the same through Ascension and Resurrection.
- ★6 characters that have been Awakened or Resurrected can have the level of their Special Move increased on their un-Awakened, un-Resurrected ★5 version.
- If an identical character is used for Ascension, no Transcendence Points will be awarded.
- The character will not gain any EXP if you use a Special Move Source.

2-1. Special Move Points

Special Move Points can be acquired by Resurrected characters with a Special Move level of 4 or less by clearing the Special Move Training Grounds.

Once a certain amount of Special Move Points have been collected, a character's Special Move Level can be increased.

Special Move Points can only be acquired from the Special Move Training Grounds.

Please be aware that only two levels' worth of Special Move Points can be acquired from the Special Move Training Grounds.

Image42

3. Required EXP

This is the amount of EXP required to reach the next Ascension level. When this gauge reaches max, the character will Ascend to the next level.

4. Source Character

Select fodder characters for Ascending the base character. Rarer fodder characters give more EXP to the base character and earn you more Transcendence Points when used for Ascension. Also, choosing a character with the same name as the base character gives even more EXP. Fodder characters are consumed by the Ascension process and will disappear from your character list.

5. Ascension Cost

Source characters and Coins are needed to perform Ascension. The amount of coins needed depends on the rarity of the base card and the number of source cards.

Character Link

Image38

1. Base Character

★3 and above characters have link slots. Only one link slot is open to begin with, but extra slots can be unlocked by leveling up Slot Souls on the Soul Tree.

2. Link Character Select

Select a character to place in the link slot. The effect of the Soul Trait of the character in the link slot will be reflected in the base character's stats. You can raise the level of a character's Soul Trait by strengthening Special Souls on the Soul Tree. You cannot place two identical characters, a character assigned to a team, or a character identical to the base character in the link slot. The character placed in the link slot will not disappear, and you can change the character at any time.

3. Saving Sets

Character Links can be saved as sets for each Attribute. When you save a Character Link set, it will be saved to the same Attribute as the base character.

4. Loading Sets

You can load a set that has been saved.

Multi-Power Up

Characters can now be strengthened through multi-power up. Select what you would like to power up and the materials required will automatically be selected and then used.

The materials to be used, as well as the details of the power-up, can be confirmed by changing the tab shown at the top of the window.

When Ascending, the character to be used will be selected after confirming the power-up.

If you would like to unlock something on the Soul Tree or power up your characters manually, tap the Soul Tree button in the top right.
